Kahn Believes 'Rebuilding' Phase Now Complete

David Kahn had an interesting comment to the Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda on Thursday.

"There is no more rebuilding," said Kahn. "There are no more wholesale changes. I like a lot of players on the team."

Minnesota currently has a 13-43 record, which gives them the worst winning percentage in the Western Conference. They rank 24th in points scored per 100 possessions and 28th in points allowed per 1000 possessions.

As much as the individual moves Kahn has made are questionable, I actually kind of like that roster as a whole.

Love-Milicic -Beasley is a pretty good front court, and Rubio is a solid asset at the very least. Add another lottery pick and a coaching change and that could be a very good squad in the near future.

You can pick apart his language, but who knows what he means by "rebuilding is complete." At this point, anything he says will be the target of ridicule. But looking at the medium-long term, the Wolves aren't in a bad position.

Meh...The only one I like is Love. Rubio may never come and even if he does, he's played like total crap this year in Europe. Beasley, for all his early season production that made clipper4ever starry eyed, has returned to Earth. Darko is Darko. They are a long, long way away from being respectable in any way, shape, or form.

I'm probably the only person on this board that thinks his statement isn't too far off. Terrible record yes, but they have a lot of young players that have shown subtle but important growth.

I wouldn't be suprised if they finished the rest of the games above .500.

I will change my handle to "Kahn's Lover" if that happens.

What is there to like about that team besides Love? Flynn sucks. Wes Johnson is a lottery pick spot shooter. Brewer is meh. Darko is meh. Beasley is hit or miss. Their bench sucks. They are one Kevin Love injury away from being the Cavaliers of the Western Conference.

They would be worse.

Winning 13 games after more than 50, you can't say you are done rebuilding. They only have one definite starter in Love. Everyone else on the team could easily be a bench player on other teams in the league.

KAAAAAAAAAHHHHHNNNNNN!

How depressing it must be to be a fan of the Timberwolves. To see your team being one of the worst teams in the league and have your GM say the rebuilding phase is over just be a gut punch beyond belief.

That is just harsh, Cleveland is much better than Minnesota without Love.

To be fair we don't know what Minnesota was rebuilding towards. Maybe they were rebuilding towards last in the west, and they're almost "done"? Maybe Kahn is just losing it because his arch nemisis Bird and the Pacers are much better than they are? Maybe he's been smokin' some of what Beasley's got?

Re: Kahn Believes 'Rebuilding' Phase Now Complete

Kevin Love's head must have exploded when he read about this.

The laughable part is that Kahn probably believes the Rubio is actually going to play for his team someday, and he's probably banking on that too. All I can say is at least we aren't all Timberwolves fans....yeesh.
